Probably more than a year ago I could access my Hotmail account using
Outlook Express but now one has to pay for this if one needs to access
Hotmail using Outlook / Outlook Express etc. The MSN page poses numerous
challenges but once one is used to the layout one can use Hotmail directly
on the Web. Yahoo too is the same story. The chief barrier on Yahoo is that
a JAWS user cannot get to the email body area while composing a message
which is announced as a frame. But I can type content in Word or Notepad and
copy paste in that frame.



Just sharing my experience
